How Intrigma Helps You Say “Yes” to More Vacation Requests

Why Time-Off Requests Matter More Than You Think

Work-life balance isn’t a perk - it’s a key driver of employee satisfaction and long-term retention. The ability to take time off when needed is essential, but managing time-off requests fairly and efficiently can be challenging without the right systems in place.

So how can you approve more requests without compromising your schedule?

Intrigma empowers healthcare teams with smarter request management tools that simplify approvals, reduce frustration, and make work-life balance a reality.

Prioritize Requests the Smart Way

Intrigma separates requests into hard (guaranteed) and soft (conditional) categories. This lets users communicate how important each request is giving schedulers the information they need to make fair decisions.

You can also set:

  • Period limits on requests per person and team. 
    • For example: no more than 8 days of vacation requests per month for Physicians and no more than 5 days per month for PAs.
  • Daily limits for each team or skill group
    • For example: block request submission after 10 days on a given day have been submitted.
  • “Cool down periods” to limit the number of days in between successive stretches of requests 
    • For example: After 7 consecutive days of requests, block requests for 4 days.

Avoid Bottlenecks Before They Happen

Intrigma’s Constrained Day Warnings alert staff when many requests have already been submitted for a given day encouraging them to select less-congested days.

This heads off scheduling jams and proactively reduces denied requests.

PTO & Holiday Management Simplified

Intrigma tracks each user’s PTO balance and automates accruals. Once a request is approved, the system can automatically reduce that user’s required work time—streamlining the entire process.

Holiday-specific rules and limitations can be configured to fit your organization’s specific needs.

Better Morale, Smoother Schedules

With Intrigma, you can say “yes” more often without breaking your schedule. When teams feel seen and supported, everyone wins.
